You would have to look far and wide to find a more outstanding example of the Resto-mod art than this absolutely stunning, multiple award-winning 1969 Chevelle SS396. It is no exaggeration to say that this car is immaculate in every detail, as close inspection will prove. Rotisserie restored and modded in 2006, it is finished throughout, including the engine compartment and undercarriage, in specially-mixed Sikkens Tangerine Pearl base-clear coat, the frame and suspension powder-coated in Black. The interior is treated to custom leather bucket seats, including a fold-down rear, tastefully stitched in Grey leather.

The engine is a work of art in itself. A balanced and blueprinted 396/375-horse L78 combined with a Turbo 400 automatic, all components are either body color finished, powder coated, polished, or chromed. A Holley four-barrel and dual-plane Edelbrock intake feed into ported and polished heads, while ceramic-coated headers send exhaust gasses through 3-inch Flowmaster mufflers and pipes. A March serpentine belt system drives accessories and a Be Cool radiator with dual electric fans handles cooling duties.

Back outside, this killer Chevelle rolls on polished large-diameter Torque Thrusts, with Baer drilled and slotted rotors to haul it down.

Did we say awards? Count among them Best Custom, Top 5, Outstanding Paint, and consecutive wins at the World of Wheels in 2007 and 2008!
